A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, slightly cupped serifs that flare smoothly from the stems. The design favors broad, open counters and steady vertical stress, giving letters a sturdy, carved-in feel without becoming rigid. Terminals are often rounded or ball-like, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and the lowercase) are full and weighty, producing a strong page color. Numerals are similarly bold and traditional, with clear contrast and compact, well-contained forms.
It performs well in editorial settings where a strong serif voice is needed, such as magazines, books, and long-form articles at comfortable sizes. The substantial strokes and crisp contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, institutional branding, and premium packaging where a traditional, confident impression is desired.
The font reads as classic and authoritative, with an editorial, bookish tone. Its confident contrast and traditional detailing suggest seriousness and trust, while the rounded terminals keep it from feeling overly sharp or austere.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first serif with elevated contrast and classic detailing, aiming for a dependable reading rhythm while projecting authority and heritage.
Spacing and rhythm feel even and text-oriented, with distinct, legible shapes in both upper- and lowercase. The italic is not shown; the displayed style maintains a consistent upright posture and a cohesive, old-style-informed texture across paragraphs.
